Exquisite MaterialI really wanted this dress to work for me and I debated quite awhile after receiving it. The material is absolutely beautiful, a wonderful mix of dark, almost black background and a luminous shade of green. The dip effect at the hem is lovely, too. The dress is fairly dark, although not quite as dark as the photo makes it appear. The top and skirt are lined, and the dress is beautifully made. The skirt lining is loose, like a slip. The fit was perfect, and this dress looked wonderful on. My problem and the reason I decided not to keep it (with regrets after the great sale price) was quite simply that it just wasn't quite "my style" due to the rather full skirt. I'm more of a slim shape style person, and the skirt portion of this dress was the deal breaker for me. Had it been about 2/3 as full as it is, I probably would have kept it. Size reference: 5'7" (good length, barely above the knees), 140#, 32DDD on top, and size 8 was absolutely perfect. For someone who likes this style and a fuller skirt, this is a great dress and I recommend it highly. I was truly sad to return this dress, but it just wasn't "me".

Edgy Summer DressWhen I first opened the box I was not sure if I was going to keep it - for some unexplainable reason I was not that happy with it at first sight. It took me about a day to try it on, but after I tried it on I fell in love with this dress. To me the dress looks better on than it does off the body. The fit is great, true to size. The top is well fitted with no pinching in the arm holes and the gathered skirt does not add any extra pounds in the waist area. The dress hits about 1" above the knee (I'm 5'7"). However, I would say the green is a little more of an acid green than the picture shows - but I kind of like it more because I think it gives the dress a little more of an edge to it. By the way it looks great with the ram's head necklace. My only wish is that it was not quite so expensive.
